I heard it's connected to their daughter's wedding.
I do.
They got married on the 22nd of last month.
We are in Istanbul.
How did you end up there?
Then suddenly one day all their phones went off.
Where are we headed now?
The other shrine.
ISIS has become active in the last six months.
They have started a new wing.
We cannot help you with this.
Your daughter went there voluntarily.
You tricked me into coming here!
Our faith tells us to fight for Khilafat,
turn the whole world into the house of Islam.
What is wrong with you, Mohsin?
Trying to enquire about your daughter
or planning to bring her back could be dangerous for her life.
Aliya and me.
We'll go to the biggest medina of Raqqa.
And execute this attack in the most crowded part.
My wife is Asar.
She will readily agree to this sacrifice.
Do you know him?
Who is Avinash Kamath, Doctor?
IB has got an interest in you.
What is the officer's name?
Raghavendra Setu.
The pilot's location is crucial, of course.
No pilot, no rescue.
Is that what we are saying?
Get Aliya out of there, please.
Aliya will come home.
No!
That was supposed to be us, Aliya.
But sister-in-law said Aliya is still too young.
She can raise soldiers.
"And she is not prepared for this."
She made a huge sacrifice to awaken your faith.
Always remember this, Aliya.
Always.
He's here.
Now, he has entered the market.
All right.
Hey, watch out!
This is Mark Ross. Who is that?
Hi, Mark. It is Adib.
Listen carefully.
There has been a shootout at the medina.
Our patrol was alerted by gunshots.
A man is arrested.
I tried to ask him a few questions.
But all he gave me was your number.
And said you will have all the answers.
Describe him to me.
Tall, well-built, tough guy.
Looks Indian.
Says he's a free... freelancer of some sort.
I am on my way.
What happened? Anything urgent?
I was chatting with Naseer in Tangier.
Aamir is dead.
Shahid?
Shahid is okay. So is Naseer.
Kamath attacked him, and he somehow managed to escape.
But Kamath has seen him.
Shahid was keeping an eye outside his house.
He's still there.
He says Kamath hasn't returned yet.
Did anyone from the Fazal family contact Kamath?
Neither on the phone nor the internet.
Check mobile phones and laptops more frequently.
At least half a dozen times a day
make the mobile-tracking van circle their home.
Emir Vali sir has issued strict orders to keep the family secured.
After Sameer Fazal's picture was published in the Voice of Khorasan,
recruitment has rapidly increased.
What about Kamath?
We'll deal with him later.
Tell Naseer and Shahid to leave Tangier
and get off the grid.
Format their phones and dispose of them.
Yes.
How much does Avinash Kamath know?
The dead man's name is Aamir.
21 years old. College dropout.
History of drugs,
and since then claims to be a reformed Muslim.
And what about the one who got away?
We're looking for him.
We've extracted some information from Aamir's phone.
There are chats and photographs, and your photograph is one of them.
Now, Aamir was in touch with two men constantly.
Naseer, who is ex-army, and Shahid.
Shahid has a degree in Middle-Eastern studies
and helps his father run a convenience store.
They are on the run.
But we will get them.
If they are suspicious of me, and wanted to bump me off,
they are clearly aware of my interest in the girl
and will be suspicious of her too.
They can find her phone, discover your software patch and kill her.
I clearly don't have the time that you guys are asking for.
But you really need to make an effort to extract her now.
-Avinash, we will need-- -Now!
Otherwise, I promise the information will dry up anyway.
If we want to,
we can get that information out of you in other ways.
Yes, you can... try.
Let's get you out of here.
I prayed for them.
Their martyrdom has worked in our favour.
You should all be proud of your brother and sister-in-law.
Alhamdulillah!
A man of our ideology is being recruited in ATC at the Bangalore airport.
Someday he will vacate his post for you, Sameer.
Soon we'll tell you what to do.
When do I leave for Bangalore?
You will be informed at the right time.
Aliya, stay calm.
And don't lose focus.
Will you have breakfast before you leave?
I won't work in the packaging division at the supermarket.
Do you think it's a trivial job because you have a marketing degree?
Any contribution to the cause we are here for is a good deed.
No, that's not it.
Then?
Asar used to look after Moin.
Saiyma goes to work every day.
Now I will look after Moin.
I'll raise him like my own.
I'll take care of you and the family.
If I have to go to work,
then who will look after Moin?
My opinion doesn't count.
But Moin needs me.
The Khilafat needs more soldiers.
We should have our own children.
Because you don't want to work anyway.
Shouldn't we wait?
Until Moin grows up.
Chief! They've taken the bait.
Which one's the pilot?
This one here, Sameer Fazal.
-Where is Mark? -He's not in yet.
But there's a video from Al-Raqqa, which I want you to see.
There's been a suicide attack.
Two phones of the family,
they are not under our surveillance.
And it was a man and a woman
who blew up the medina in Ar-Raqqah yesterday.
Christ!
Will you look after him for a while?
Yeah, sure.
You have a cell phone.
Yes, our phones were returned to us.
How come?
Mohsin said we have gained their trust
because of Khalid and Asar's martyrdom.
Also, Wajid and Sameer have joined the army.
So, we got our phones back after they finished their training.
Did you call home?
I tried, but Mom was upset.
She won't talk to me.
I see.
By the way, what exactly do you want to buy here?
Nothing much.
Just some local items from roadside shops.
Here, I'll take him.
God, I want to get out of this place.
Hisbah has grown stricter.
Our neighbour Jameela
got flogged 25 times yesterday
because she was listening to music on her phone.
They said it's haram.
Yeah, Mohsin.
Yeah, bro.
What's the status?
Haven't found anyone yet.
We are running out of time, Wilson.
I am conducting a Bollywood-style audition.
You'll get your Aliya by tomorrow evening.
Just stop stressing me.
Okay, bye.
-Good afternoon, sir. -Good afternoon.
We are ready.
Call them. Send them in one by one.
Who is Archana Sharma?
Hello.
Your introductions and profiles, please.
Hi. My name is Archana Sharma.
Age: 22 years old.
Height: 5.5 inches.
Vitals: 35-24-35.
Here are my profiles.
Thank you.
And dialogues, please.
How many times...
should I tell you...
should I tell you that I don't understand English?
Next.
Chief, we can really milk this.
I mean, there's fresh data coming in every day.
I know, Mark. How do you think I feel?
It's a potential treasure trove of intel.
But the powers above us have spoken.
With the US-trained pilot out there, it's too big of a risk.
And they want all of this wrapped up ASAP.
Especially after these two members of the family
getting themselves blown up.
Wrapped up?
We have eyes on the pilot.
He has to go somewhere to blow up or crash into something, right?
We have time, boss!
We can't take a risk of him vanishing
and resurfacing again after another incident.
You know where the pilot is.
And you know what his intention could be.
Just blow the whole damn house.
When?
I'll tell you when.
What about the girl?
The girl?
For Christ's sake, Mark, did you actually ask me this?
In that part of the world, collateral damage is probably not even fit
to be called collateral damage.
What did he say?
Do we have a team?
He's going for a drone hit on the pilot...
that's the team.
There will be no rescue.
But the girl...
she's a valuable asset.
-And Avinash also-- -The decision has been made, Radha.
It's over for us.
And perhaps Avinash.
One more body in a hijab and head scarf buried
under a collapsed structure is not really going to matter to you guys.
It matters to me.
They are readying for a drone attack on the house.
They won't extract the girl.
When?
I don't know.
But if I do, I will let you know.
If you have a plan B, get going now.
Thank you.
So, what was Mohsin saying?
He was saying he will get late today as well.
He's been summoned at the military headquarters.
Wow!
Your family is getting quite popular.
Aliya.
Hmmm...
Can you give me a phone?
Phone?
But it's not allowed to share phones.
But...
you have two phones.
No.
I have only one.
Listen, Aliya. I really need a phone.
I have to get help.
I want to get out of here anyhow.
No one can get out of here.
I know people.
People in England will help me out.
They will get me out. They are my people.
Just... please! Give me the phone.
Nabeela.
The Al-Khansaa Brigade searches our house twice a week.
They even check our phones.
If they find out I lent you my phone--
Not that phone.
Your other phone.
The one you were using outside.
Aliya, I know.
I don't use another phone.
Aliya.
I am going out. Will you look after Moin?
I will.
I'll just be back.
Next.
I strictly said Indian wear.
Once I get the role, I will wear it.
Madam! This is not done.
-If you want the role-- -Priyesh...
Roll.
Your introductions and profiles, please.
My name is Sonia Shah, age 22 and height 5.5 inches.
And here are my profiles.
Dialogues, please.
Rolling and--
Rolling and... action!
How many times should I tell you that I don't understand English?
Buddy, is this the new way you guys have imagined
to harass all the single women who travel alone?
Oh... How many times should I tell you that I don't understand English?
Buddy, is this the new way you guys have imagined
to harass all the single women who travel alone?
Mind-blowing!
Lovely! Lovely! Nice! Nice!
Give her some water. We can lock her.
Water! Lovely!
Superb!
The Al-Khansaa Brigade has become more vigilant.
They may soon detect the bugs
on Mohsin's laptop or the phones.
Please, Uncle. Get me out of here soon.
After Asar and Khalid,
Mohsin will take me next for his plans.
Please, Uncle, get me out of here.
Aliya, I am trying my best.
There is another problem.
What?
A British girl is also stuck here.
She has grown suspicious that I have another phone.
I kept denying that I don't,
but she firmly believes that I do.
She wants to get out of here too.
I cannot extract anyone else except you.
But keep her engaged.
Lie to her if you have to.
Make her feel that there is a chance.
I am scared.
Soon I'll tell you a date and time.
Please!
Please! Get me out.
Disconnect the phone and delete all the messages.
And reset the phone.
I'll text you.
Bye.
Mom, I miss you.
Tell Avinash uncle to hurry up.
Things are getting worse here.
My child, don't lose hope.
Avinash is trying his best.
Getting restless like this could make things worse.
You are my brave daughter, aren't you?
Yes.
Have you been eating properly?
Yes, Mom. When I come back...
They got to you in Tangier through sleeper cells,
and also to Sabeena out here.
Soon they will get to me.
Farhat, their recruiter in Mumbai, is in regular touch with them.
She is feeding them information.
If Farhat gets arrested or neutralised,
they will think you are active.
-Let her be. -Okay.
I'll have to extract Aliya personally.
CIA has backed out.
They are only interested in the pilot.
They want to carry out a drone attack on the house.
Oops.
What about the sleeper cells?
We must convince them that, after the attack,
you've gone off the grid and slowed down.
It'll play in your favour and Aliya's.
It won't be easy.
They have done some research on me.
And they know me more after the attack.
But...
But?
We have to divert their attention.
Do you have any idea?
Well, if I don't, then what I am doing in this story?
First, we must convince them that we are headed in the wrong direction.
For that, we must take the help of a central agency.
Excuse me, Doctor.
I will have to call you back.
Yes, Dr. Janice.
What was the trigger?
We have absolutely no idea, and she won't talk.
Well, make her talk then.
Isn't that what you specialise in?
When she was diagnosed, Mr. Kamath,
we told you there was no cure as such
and that there will be bad days.
Hello, Doctor.
Mr. Raghavendra Setu.
Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker."
It's a peace offering, Doctor.
Extremely rare.
Is it from the flea market?
They are hard to find.
-It's rare and-- -You have been conned.
It's easily available.
Anyway, thanks.
Sit.
So you want to know about Avinash Kamath?
Yes.
Had fun in Marrakesh?
Picked up some good whores?
I told you I am going there on business, Mrunal.
What business?
-Aliya. Her admission... -Aliya who? Don't lie to me.
Why will I lie?
You know...
You know what date it is today.
That's why you planned the dinner.
Isn't that why you picked up the date?
What date is it today?
What's the date?
Mrunal.
It's not your fault, okay? It's not.
That.
That's how you always look at me.
-How? -Don't lie.
Don't lie to me.
That's how you look at me since that day.
It was my fault.
You know it.
You forgot.
It's Jai's birthday.
-I don't think that way, Mrunal. Please-- -You're lying!
That's how you think.
And you've been thinking like this all these years.
Just get out!
-Mrunal. -Just leave!
-Mrunal, listen to me-- -Come back to me
when you are man enough to say
it was my fault.
Mrunal.
Leave.
-Mrunal, please. -Just leave.
-Mrunal, listen to me... Mrunal... -Just go.
You are drinking in the day.
Hands off the bottle!
Come on, son.
Mama, Mousey! Mama!
Jai!
Avinash!
Mrunal was admitted to the psychiatric ward
of a hospital in Mumbai due to depression.
Avinash was an alcoholic anyway.
But after that incident,
he also became a druggie.
In fact, he would take anything that would make him oblivious to the world.
How did you find him?
He wanted to kill me.
Let me explain.
Due to my job profile,
there would often be hits on me in the open market.
At that point in time, there were eight kill orders against me.
Kill and collect order.
On the dark web.
Precisely.
One night, when I returned home...
Whatever they are paying you to kill me,
I will pay you double.
Actually, I have a better offer.
As you know, there's a threat to my life.
You can be my security officer.
Why?
The way you are holding your gun,
that suggests that you are a trained officer.
And only a professional would pick the spot that you picked.
Low lighting, clean exit.
Your hands are shaking.
That means you're either drunk or high, or maybe both.
But your gun is relatively steady.
I cannot escape even if I want to.
I can use a guy like you for a few months.
I survived.
And so did Avinash.
Later, he joined me.
Your department was paying the bills.
He was always high but sharp as an eagle.
There were two more assassination attempts on me in two months.
But Avinash neutralised both of them.
Two months later, he just disappeared.
Phone was switched off. No communication.
Somehow I managed to find his address. Here in Kurla.
Avinash!
When I arrived at his flat, I saw
he was lying there unconscious.
I put him in a hospital.
The doctors had given up on him.
But he kept hanging in.
Initially, he showed no signs of improvement.
But whenever Inayat's daughter Aliya would visit him,
we would get signs telling us that he wants to live.
He is doing better today.
I did two things when he recovered.
First, I took him to see Mrunal.
Mrunal was in a very bad state then.
Come on.
Get up. Come on.
-I don't need medicine... -Let's go!
Leave me...
Come on.
I want to go see Jai.
-Come on. -I want to go see Jai.
He needs his mama. Please.
Unfortunately, Avinash, before you can punish yourself,
you must save this poor soul.
I am sure you have the dignity to get her proper treatment.
On my recommendation,
Avinash got admission to England's Royal Military College of Science.
There he did his Masters in Global Securities
Then he began going on renditions with a private security group.
Around five years ago, Mrunal and he moved to Tangier.
Basically, for Mrunal's treatment.
With time and experience,
everyone earns a name in this profession.
He earned the name, the Freelancer.
What is this Freelancer doing in your life and mine?
I told you about the child Aliya.
-Yes. -Inayat's daughter,
who would visit him at the hospital.
She is currently in Syria.
Avinash is trying to bring her back.
This is why you picked this date.
It was my fault.
You know it.
Double whiskey on the rocks.
-Any. -Yes, sir.
You know...
You know what date it is today.
That's why you planned the dinner.
Just get out. Just leave.
-Mrunal, please. -Come back to me
when you are man enough to say
it was my fault.
How many times should I tell you that I don't understand English?
Buddy, is this the new way you guys have imagined
to harass all the single women who travel alone?
Yes, bro.
She is perfect. Will she do it?
I've scheduled a meeting with her. I'll call you when it's a deal.
We won't find anyone better, Wilson.
Lock her at any cost.
-Okay. -Bye.
Ma'am, this way, please.
AD.
Sir.
Do you smoke?
I do, sir.
Then go. I'll call you.
Sir.
That was funny.
Sonia Shah.
You're a Gujarati.
I am.
But I can be anyone you want.
Artist.
How do you know Arabic so well?
Dad had a business in Sharjah.
So I did my schooling there.
And what is the National School of Drama?
It's a drama school in Delhi
where people are trained in theatre.
Delhi has a dram school to teach acting?
Oh, man! I didn't know.
So you're not a producer,
and this is not an audition.
Brilliant.
You auditioned for a different project,
and not for films, web series or television.
This is a real-life assignment.
It's a big job, so the money is big.
You have to act as well as travel.
And I guess you've travelled abroad which is good.
So if it's a yes, I can continue talking.
Because whatever I tell you next
is extremely confidential.
Okay.
Go on.
Great!
So you've got to play a character,
travel to Dubai in business class.
On that character's passport.
Once there, you will hand over the passport to someone.
And then stay at a five-star hotel for a couple of days.
There is nothing else to be done for us.
Go sightseeing, shop and have a blast.
All expenses paid.
Five days later, you will get your original passport.
With entry stamps and Dubai visas.
That's it.
You just have to take a return flight,
sit in the business class and come back to Mumbai.
That's the job.
Shady?
No, it's actually for a good cause.
I need more details.
The lesser you know, the better. Trust me.
Am I supposed to smuggle something?
Or bring something from there.
You just have to play a character.
And the performance will be for the Mumbai
and Dubai airport CCTVs. That is it.
So I just have to travel like a passenger and go to Dubai.
Just travel like a passenger and go to Dubai.
What if I get caught at immigration?
You won't.
It is in our interest that you don't.
We will handle it. Don't worry.
Let me think about it.
You live alone in Mumbai.
Haven't had a job in the last couple of months.
You can't borrow money from your parents.
So what's to think? I don't understand.
How much?
Rs. 2.5 million plus expenses.
Rs. 5 million plus expenses.
75% advance.
I'll only stay at the Address Hotel next to Dubai Mall.
And I'll need an SUV for local transport.
And a guarantee that I'll be safe.
If it's acceptable, let me know.
Have a good day.
She is my type of girl.
Nabeela?
You have to let me use the other phone.
What other phone?
Look, give it to me,
or I'll tell Ameena at the Al-Khansaa Brigade.
It's as simple as that.
I have to get out.
I am sorry. But I need that fucking phone!
